The Academy Village,
located on 168 acres just east of Tucson, is a 55+ retirement community that takes a slightly different
approach to aging than some other planned
developments. Here the emphasis is to create a
community whose residents have access to life-long learning
and the opportunity to give back to the larger community
through volunteering, mentoring and sponsoring activities in
the greater Tucson area.

This planned community offers single-family homes (five floor
plans) and town homes (three floor plans). Great care
has gone into the development's design, ensuring that open space and
desert vistas are not compromised. Homes are clustered in
groups of four, with a single driveway into each cluster to ensure
privacy and some spectacular views. Town homes are limited to
four to six units per building, and each unit has a patio and
garden.

The
construction process, including selecting a floor plan and a lot,
meeting with the designer, builder and landscape architect (all
supplied by The Village), takes roughly five to six months.
264 homes are planned. Visit www.theacademyvillage.com for
information.

Life at The
Village revolves around two groups, the Arizona Senior Academy and
the Homeowners' Association, both of which bring a variety of
activities and opportunities to residents. The Arizona Senior Academy is a
non-profit organization that emphasizes cultural and educational
involvement and presents concerts, symposiums and a
variety of 5 and 10 week courses on everything from the history of
science to the role of the United States as a superpower. It
also provides opportunities for residents to work with local youth
through school presentations and mentoring programs.

The
Senior Academy is complemented by the Homeowner's Association, which,
in addition to providing trash removal and general maintenance,
offers wellness and fitness programs at the Community Center.
Health professionals are available five days a week and offer health
education, blood pressure checks and flu shots, as well as arrangement of in-home
skilled nursing and custodial care services as needed. Fitness classes include
yoga, pool aqua aerobics and
circuit training. The state-of-the-art fitness
center provides a heated pool and lighted tennis courts, all with a
gorgeous view of the Rincon Mountains.

Tucson is just a seven minute drive to the west and is
home to museums,
ballet, opera, art galleries, shops, outstanding restaurants and
twenty golf courses. The University of Arizona also brings live
theater, dance and music shows to campus each year.
